Tramadol excretion time and brain function

Good day

I have searched online and found that tramadol can take up to 48 hours or just over to fully leave the system. My question is, how long will the effects of tramadol last on the cognition of the brain? I'm asking from the perspective of returning back to work and wanting to be able to operate as per normal. I only used 200mg over 2 days.

I'd appreciate some insight on this, and thank you very much in advance.

Warm regards

usually 5-6 half lives, so 48-72 hrs should be good
The cognitive effects of Tramadol can be concomitant with the levels circulating or present in your body. So about 2 to 3 days after having stopped it completely you should be free of any cognitive influence. Good luck. Dr. F. Sent from AOL on Android
Probably 6-8 hours without with a 50 mg tablet, longer with higher doses all at once. If you used none in a day, you should be able to perform as you usually do the following day. The applies only if your kidney and liver function is normal and you are not taking any other medication, and nothing else would be affecting your cognitive ability: recent head injury, recent surgery, alcohol and street drug use, a sleep disorder, so you are sleep deprived or have obstructive sleep apnea. Or any other heart lung conditions. Leon Rosenberg
